Gone fishin'

frin wMight give this blog a break for a while. Gone fishin' sign might go up - or rather just get on with some art work instead. Meanwhile will continue to post in the geelong blog perhaps. Too dispirited to keep on trying to be polite about Fiji.

No Peceli and Wendy.You need to keep up your very quiet but effective messageboard of dissatisfaction with what is going on in Fiji.People are desperate to know what is going on.Sean Dorney, you would have heard, said the people in Fiji know nothing at all about what is going on: for example the Army's takeover of the Reserve Bank - heaven help us!My colleague in translation Tauga Vulaono has just been appointed President of the National Association of Women, representing 200,000 people around Fiji. They are very concerned about how to make their feelings known during this time of Crisis.You may also have heard that the Methodist Church had to get permission to hold a regional Conference in Fiji. The Uniting Church President, Gregor Henderson, is in Suva this very week.

It's the only time when I've actually thought that another country's intervention might be a good thing - the lesser of 2 evils? If there was a resource of great value in Fiji, like oil, you can bet that some other country would have been in there by now.

I can understand why you don't feel like blogging. Sometimes the futility of everything overwhelms the drive to blog.

Have a break - and then come back! It would be too quiet without you around.

Staff gasped with delight when Fiji Daily Post receptionist Lupe said her breakfast was a cup of latte coffee along with toasted currant bread.

Volasiga editor Setareki said he had tea and biscuits for breakfast.

Volunteer attachment Tim said he threw up for breakfast as he had had too much fried chicken the night before.

Also among the less fortunate was reporter Kuru who at midday said he was still waiting for breakfast.-----Now don't you think that is a subversive story. Everyone should eat the same thing for breakfast because I tell you so. You must all eat Cabin Cracker biscuits, none of this individualism eh!
